Re: Curves workbench
Yes, the computed surface goes too far, half turn, and back to the last profile.
I have seen this several times.
I suspect a parametrization problem in my algorithm, but I don't know if I'll look at that anytime soon.
More recently than Sweep2Rails, I gave a try at porting a Gordon Surface tool from TiGL.
It is a more general algorithm than Sweep2Rails.
It needs 2 Part-Compound object as input (1 compound for profile edges and 1 for rails).

Re: Curves workbench
Hi Chris,
you recently made an update on BSplineAlgorithms: "fix kink knots insertion"
Under Windows10_32 I could not use BSpline in CurvesWB until now, because it always froze.
Now I get at least a wire without freezing.
Trials to convert this wire to a spline curve don't succeed.
Please explain the usage.

Re: Curves workbench
Hi,
The fix probably happened in this commit.
The goal of this tool was mainly to quickly draw a BSpline curve.
The available commands are shown in your screenshot :
"Left Mouse Button : add pole"
"Del : remove last pole"
"I / D : Increase or Decrease degree"
"Left CTRL : snap" (doesn't work good, better don't use it)
"Enter : Accept"
"Esc : Abort"
At the beginning the Degree is 1 (this is why it looks like a polyline), so after a couple of poles added, you should increase the degree with the I key.

Re: Curves workbench
hello Chris_G
it would be nice if the start point of the uv grid in the Geominfo Display can have another color than the other poles (red).
In case of a surface I can find it using the displayed u v letters
but in case of a curve it is not easy to get the information where u=0 is.

Re: Curves workbench
Hello,
I just pushed a fix.
First pole of a curve is now red, while the others are purple.
On a surface, the u=0 isocurve is orange, and the v=0 is yellow.

Re: Curves workbench
Thank you, works fine.
Re: Curves workbench
Hi,
How I can use Gordon feature for this kind of shell. I've tried with "Fill boundary curve" from "Surface WB", but you can see the surface is not following profiles very well. I've tried your Gordon tool as well but without expected success.Thanks.

Re: Curves workbench
I use 3 x 3 curves
you can edit the sketches, the surface should follow

we had a use case some time ago
